Extravagent Devotion

Mary, with an alabaster vial of perfume, poured it over Jesus' head. Standbyers saw and scoffed and scolded her publically. The story is told to the world as provocation: This is the type of devotion that is required of us! It looks stupid to the world.

Extravagent Devotion is the evidence of the gospel's work in our life. Extravagent Love can not be concealed. It is expressed! Serving! Loving! Witnessing! It is the increasing experience of the converted.

How can I become more like Mary?

Conversion doesn't leave the conflict of sin. Before conversion there is no conflict because we are ignorant of our offense.
